Five Things to Love @ Uncommon Goods
Uncommon Goods is the place to go for everything you could possibly want for your home. I browsed the website yesterday looking for items to update the look of my home for Summer. I’m going for an eclectic vibe and Uncommon Goods had more than what I was looking for! Here are a few of my favorites.
The handmade Kantha blanket here immediately caught my eye. It would be perfect across the back of a couch, tossed on a bed or as a picnic blanket on a warm sunny day.
The Sweet Dreams pillowcase set would make a great update to any bedroom…or pillow fort.
So maybe your neighbors don’t have better stuff but your guests don’t have to know that. Plop this cheeky mat outside your front door and let the neighbors wonder who really has the best style.
Uncommon Goods has a wide range of fun animal heads but this Unicorn Head is probably the most uncommon and the most likely to gain you style points.
Show your love for your favorite state with the wall hangings here. Add color and show hometown state pride.
Take a look at Uncommon Goods and find something new and unique for your sweet home today.
If I stay here trouble will find me
• National tomorrow with mah bishes. Fun fact. I spent less money on all 3 tickets for The National than I did on just one NIN ticket. Not even sorry.
• I’m in a shitty fucking mood. I’m pissy and ranty and have zero patience and the only fuck I have to give is reserved. This time I can blame PMS. You’re welcome.
• people who make dramatic posts about deleting their tumblr in the blatant “tell me you love me convince me to stay I’m a needy little bitch” kinda way make me want to go out of my way to convince them to leave because man the fuck up seriously. See above bullet.
• I got so much accomplished at work today but OH MY TRENT I was so bored. The work husband is banned from taking vacation days. I need him to entertain me.
• I’m still on my all heavy music all the time kick. With a lot of classic rock thrown in for some extra flava. Pretty sure I’ve thumbs downed every song Adele has ever made but pandora is being an insistent little bitch about mellowing out my NIN station and NO you can have a coke pandora. Rude.
I’m going to bed so you’re welcome. Again.
Fiver
My feet look very tan. I look at them and they don’t seem like they belong to me.
I think I smell like alcohol. So glad I showed up on time for a 9am when my boss is running an hour late. {Airing myself out}
I don’t know how I used to drink so much during the week, it’s just too painful.
I’m thankful I kept my drunken messaging to a minimum. I’m too old for regret! :)
BEACH tomorrow!
five things
I have now posted more in January than I did for the entire month of December.
Lakers and Celtics in the starting five of the All-Star game means too many thirteen year olds vote.
My daughters should really know better than to say Candyman in the mirror.
I ordered nachos yesterday and the plate was so huge I could only eat about a third of them, so I’ve got leftovers today.
Jack’s back.
Fiver!
If we have communicated via text or kik recently, chances are I wrote “Poop!” more than once.
My buyer says he is still committed to the deal (so far), I will proceed Open House-ing my brains out on Sunday.
I’m committed to getting my ass to the beach more this summer. Can I borrow your car??
Amazon is wonderful they can ship me a new AC within a day BUT I had to hump it up the stairs and now I have to install it. I’ve never had one so big.
That’s what she said!

I had SO much fun at the show on Wed, it was weird. I was smiling like an idiot the whole time. If you can see Voice of the Wetlands Allstars, I highly recommend it, the opener Mike Zito was really good too.
Next show is Heartless Bastards with my cousin. My cousin E, represents 50% of the family that I interact with. I guess that is kind of strange. I’m glad he lives close by and is in my life, he is a good egg.
I’m back a bit on the ambien, problem is I don’t get enough sleep, so I wake up extra tired. I’m so beat, someone is going to have to hold the wineglass to my lips tonight. If I could request a sexy man that wants to have sex with me be the holder of the wineglass I think I can rally.
My boss is coming to see the apt with me (1/2 day, woot!), camel toe coworker is driving us. She is laying out the kitchen and bathroom so I will gladly suck it up and resist all urges to strangle her.
Get me outta heayah! (this is my attempt to write in a NYC accent)
Five things and shit
- I hate when my laptop gets all hot and burns my thighs. Summer and surfing the web is dangerous.
- I made a brussel sprout, tomato and cucumber salad for lunch. Yeah. I don’t know either.
- I am not wearing any panties.
- I would kill a grown man just to watch him die if after he took his last breath I could have his bucket of buttered movie theater popcorn.
- Only one of my kids is right handed.. For those of you that are new here, I have SEVEN kids….and SIX of them are left handed.
I, TOO, ENJOY GETTING DOWN ON A FRIDAY
• I stink. I’m stinky. Call me Stinky McDirtyhairgrossyuckarmpit. Phillips.
• Shark Week is in sixteen days. I know that because I have been checking the Shark Week Countdown website every day for the past month. Some weird, illogical part of my brain seems to think that if I check it every day, it will somehow skip a week. WHAT? I LIKE SHARK WEEK.
• Speaking of sharks, we’re starting to narrow down where we’d like to take our honeymoon next year, and I told Jason I’d really like to go somewhere where I can go shark diving. Swimming with sharks is one of my dreams, and now there’s a chance I’ll get to do it, and that’s awesome.
• I eat peanut butter at least once a day.
• I quit using the phrase “waiting for the other shoe to drop” and other some such nonsense in regards to my happiness a long time ago. My life is great, even with the little shitty bits thrown in. Sitting around expecting something bad to happen someday just because things are going well is such a stupid fucking attitude to have. I’m happy. I like my life. I’m embracing that shit. I’m living.
Five Things
Hello, new blog segment! Five Things is where I’ll post a random list containing five things about anything under the sun! Be it tv series, films, food, wish lists, whatever floats my boat. Credit goes to beamarquez (one of my favorite blogs!)
Here goes for my first Five Things:
1. The Carrie Diaries. This show ♡ To be honest, I first read about this show in a Teen Vogue issue where they featured the protagonist, AnnaSophia Robb. I thought she was pretty nice so I gave this show a try. At first, though, I didn’t like it since I thought it was just going to be some lame sob series. But boy, I was wrong. Even though the show was set in the 80’s, I loved it. Whenever I watch this show, it gives me different feelings, haha. I’m also planning to read the books sometime soon!
2. A new violin from my mom. I think I’ve mentioned quite a few times that I’m a fiddler (not the best, but I try), and I’ve had my old violin for over three years now. And that one is actually already small for me since I’ve grown up so I have to upgrade my violin, too. Which is why my mom thought it would be perfect that I get a new violin :-) And yes, it is in pastel pink and purple. I’m not a big fan of pink, but it looks cute anyway, haha!
3. Red velvet cupcakes by moi. (cupcakes in the photo aren’t baked yet) Baked these babies and delivered them to my mom’s office for test tasting (?). I was astonished that everyone loved it, not a single negative feedback was given! Maybe I should try making them with frosting next time, yes?
4. My Little Paris. Can’t help but adore this iOS app called My Little Paris! Too bad I can’t understand most of the writings though! Someday…
5. Almond croissants from Cafe France. Seriously, I would eat this every morning for breakfast if I could. (Along with a few strips of bacon, teehee) I could eat like, four pieces in one sitting.They’re just reeeally good. I love almonds on almost everything!
Friday feels like
I might have accidentally signed up for Spotify premium.
Whoops.
We won’t be sending out Christmas cards until after Christmas this year. This health crisis has taken first place.
The night nurse will be helping us wrap presents tonight. We will watch Scrooged and drink coffee or cocoa or hot toddies or something. This might mean the night nurse does most of the wrapping. I’m really okay with that.
I have not eaten one kernel from the Big Giant Holiday Popcorn Bin of Three Flavors. That will change today.
After my wife got home from the doctor visit with no diagnosis, some friends brought us over pizza and beer and we had a party.
Sometimes, you gotta, ya know?
TELL ME ABOUT 5 THINGS THAT WOULD BE WORSE TO FIND UNDER YOUR BED THAN POSSUMS i don't care if it's not on the meme list i am a trailblazer and a revolutionary
1. A MILLION SPIDERS
2. Actually any number of spiders in excess of “one, not at all visible to the naked eye”
3. UNANTICIPATED MAMMAL
4. A tuna sandwich
5. Jimmy Hoffa.
Five Things
I like
• the way my boobs look in this new bra
• gtalk conversations with my best friends
• that lately I’m in a good mood far more often than I’m not
• the way certain songs just speak to your soul
• Starbucks coffee in my mouth.
I dislike
• being serious all the time
• that I’m not having sex with James Deen to a Marilyn Manson song right now (“The Beautiful People” just came on my iPod and my brain almost exploded with the mental imagery)
• letting my issues win because I’m stronger than them damn it
• myself for blowing off the gym today :(
• how all my favorite people live so far away
